- Question 1
- It's okay. Bhagwan, you went to United States with all the determinedness to settle down and you have come back. Do you plan to go there some time in future to see sannyasins and the disciples?
- Question 2
- Bhagwan, would you please excuse us? Because we have to rush to the airport to find the photo of your arrival this morning. So, before leaving, if you would kindly answer briefly two or three points.
- And it would be really a great pleasure to listen to you. This is very interesting. We have never heard so much in detail. Because the press gave all these very brief things. These are very interesting accounts you have given to us. And we wish to remain here for a longer time. But now, my special question is: we have just received a message from New Delhi saying, indicating the possibility of your not returning to India. You may go somewhere else from Nepal. So, would you kindly...
- Question 3
- And secondly, second point, if you would answer briefly, second point, I would like to know your reaction. This morning, all your disciples who came to receive you at the airport, they displayed the placards, reading 'In the land of Buddha, a new Buddha is welcome.' Which means they consider you as new Buddha. So, what do you think of yourself? Do you consider yourself as a reincarnation of Buddha, or new Buddha? If you would answer a little bit, briefly.
- Question 4
- Bhagwan, is it correct that you owe the government of India some taxes?
- Question 5
- Sorry, I have a question. Do you plan to set up a commune in India? Or, as it is being said though, this morning at Delhi, you also denied that you have no plans to set up (a) commune at Fiji. Do you have any plans for your commune? Where will you live now?
- Question 6
- Where?
- Question 7
- Bhagwan, don't you think in this respect Nepal is the best place for you to settle because it is a Hindu kingdom and very peaceful life and not much of pollution problem and weather is also not so cold and not much of humidity?
